That's her.

After Speedway, she played in a duo "The Chaplins", and then solo.

The Chaplins' EP is pretty good

Bruce,

I came in from my garden at 3.40 p.m., saw the link, and tuned in just in time to catch the last two lines of John Prine and Iris Dement. Maybe not the track I would have chosen when the weans are off the school :lol:, but thanks for playing them. John Prine is grossly underestimated. I'm also a fan of Iris - like her singing "Our Town".
Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

Another thing to keep you occupied is to learn or revisit the basic steps of dancing. Wife and I are now getting back to our love for Rock 'n' Roll dancing. We originally learned by joining a local R 'n' R group some ten years ago.

You don't need a partner to learn the basic steps. I learned the basic steps in our garage on my own. Consider it as exercise - play your favourite music and enjoy. here's the youtube video.
